Sweet Shoppe Candy Party

I have a lot of exciting things to announce. The first being that Zurchers Party and Wedding Supplies contacted me a few months ago and hired me as their new in-store party designer. It's been a lot of fun! I am now able to show you the first of many parties I'm styling for them. This SWEET SHOPPE CANDY PARTY was a blast to design and execute. I just love all the colors...and SUGAR!

Most everything you see throughout this party is from Zurchers, including the adorable apothecary jars. Often, the right candy can be so hard to find, but with the huge selection at Zurchers you don't have to search and search through hundreds of online shops.

My favorite things about this party-- the ric rac / paper and candy necklace bunting, the milk bottles, the bubble gum machine drink dispenser {took the top off my gumball machine and replaced it with a beverage dispenser}, the various lollipops, the pink sixlets, the paper straws, the funky ribbon on the candy scoops and favor pails, the chocolate dipped candy sticks and the chevron bags. Of course, the rock candy cake is also so fun! It was inspired by this cake from Cocoa and Fig. The amazing Kim Stoegbauer from The Tomkat Studio, also used a similar cake here.

A huge thank you to my party design assistant, Brynne. I couldn't do any of this without the help of you and Amber!

Valentine's Day Spa Party

Up next is an adorable VALENTINE'S DAY SPA PARTY submitted by Christy Bergerson of Itsy Belle. This party looks like it was so much fun! What a perfect theme for a teen valentines party! LOVE the hutch dessert display and the pink ruffle cake!

Here is what Christy said about the party- "When I was planning on a Valentine's themed Spa Party for girls I knew it had to be sweet and relaxing! I decided soft pinks would give more of a calm spa feeling than the typical reds of Valentine's Day. In searching for inspiration I saw a photo of the sweetest pink ombre ruffle cake, and it became my centerpiece! I knew that fading soft pinks, ruffles, and sweetness would be the perfect touches. I also wanted to bring in a touch of chocolate, cause what would Valentine's Day be without chocolate!

I knew for a spa party there had to be lots of pampering! The girls got pampered with Moodylicous Wicked Chocolate face frosting, and Chocolate Sugar scrub, as well as lots of sweet spa "Treatments" to eat! We set up a Mani/Pedi station and each guest got a pink ruffled spa robe, and a Moodylicous favor bag filled with Mani/Pedi kits, nail polish, treats, eye mask and flowered headband.

The Sweet "Treatments" were:

Pink Ombre Ruffled Champagne Cake;
Champagne Cupcakes;
Lettered Mini Marshmallows as "Marshmallow Love Letters";
Marshmallow pops as "Sugar Scrubs";
Pink Cotton Candy as "Sugar Cotton Balls",
Peppermint Neccos as "Candy Bath Bombs"Pink;
Meringues as "Spa Cookies"
Fruit Punch as "Love Potion"

Take Home Spa Favors:

They girls had such a fun time covering eachother in chocolate face frosting and sugar scrub, there was a lot of laughter! Even my little daughter Annabelle joined in for some pampering!"
